Just finished reading this book.
Wow is all I can say. I am in awe.
If you want to know how to do rhyme…LOOK AT THIS MENTOR TEXT!
Three things that stood out to me
1. Perfect rhyme scheme.–No near rhymes at all. Every line 7 syllables except for 4 lines (that were together) of 8 syllables. Now that is magic!
2. Low word count--just under 350 words Parents do not want long, drawn out stories, and pre-schoolers would not listen to it anyway. (Reminding myself of this, too!)
3. She writes perfectly for the target audience. Any pre-schooler or kindergartner will relate to EVERY PAGE of this book. She writes what they experience. Down to the last detail.
Here is a brief outline of the story arc.
